Should the forum (still) be closed on Mondays (2026 repoll)

[Jammies]

Just got here, and my first Monday was a total bummer when I realized the forums were down. But then I started wandering around the site, poking into the other communities, and checking out the surf club. Honestly, it turned things around for me. Instead of just sitting around, I ended up exploring other stuff and getting motivated to work on my own things. I'm definitely on board with keeping Mondays closed. The server puts in the work, so it should get a break!

The main annoyance I have about the forum being closed on Mondays is that due to time zones it often is closed at times that are not Monday for me. But, that's probably an unavoidable issue and I could resolve it by having a better understanding of time

Yeah but like, are Mondays even REAL though? Because someone told me it was Monday once and I was like "Really? It sounds so made up, I'm like- 'MONday...'" I'm sceptical, but it's all good though. Like if it was Monday today but my phone says it's Wednesday and I don't believe that either because the phone says Wed Nes Day and everyone ELSE says it's "WENDSday" so obviously one of these is wrong.

I voted yar! I think its good for a web forum to let the mods have a day off each week, and to let the users get a reminder that a forum is not the most important thing around! When I come here on a Monday and see it's closed its a reminder to exist in the real world for a little, maybe go for a walk or something. I tend to get stuck in habits so it's nice to have that reminder.

I also think its just fun and cute! When I introduced the site to a friend once I mentioned the site closes on Mondays and they were like "oh thats so charming omg!". And I agree, it is charming! 

BUT that said I wouldn't mind if it opened, or if it was read only, or whatever. I just like hanging around here from time to time 

(also how do people access the chat on Mondays what sort of hackery is that? <.<)
